Fishery Notice

On December 18, 2017, Karen Ludwig, Member of Parliament for New Brunswick 
Southwest, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Fisheries, 
Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard launched the Fisheries and Aquaculture 
Clean Technology Adoption Program (FACTAP).  The program will provide funding 
of up to $20 million over four years to Canada's fisheries and aquaculture 
industries to implement market-ready clean technologies, processes, and 
practices into their day-to-day operations.
 
The funding will make our fisheries and aquaculture greener through investments 
such as:
-helping fish harvesters convert their vessels to clean alternative fuels;
-making modifications to fishing equipment and practices to improve catch 
monitoring;
-reducing energy use on aquaculture sites; and
-improving farm technology and operations.
  
To be eligible, you must be active in or support activities related to the fish 
and seafood sectors, such as harvesting, aquaculture, and processing.
 
FACTAP can provide funding of up to 75% of eligible project costs, however, the 
applicant must also receive funding from provincial or territorial governments 
of at least 10% of the project cost in cash or in-kind.
 
Interested parties can find more information and apply for funding through the 
DFO website at:

Technology Adoption Program, please email:
